"Happy?"
"I am the furthest thing from happy when I'm in a room with you."
~~~~~~
At the start of the 2022 Formula One season, defending World Champion, Max Verstappen, is ready to fight once again for the title. At the first sign of weakness, nineteen other drivers stand ready to pounce and seize victory for themselves. For Max, with his place in racing history on the line, failure is not an option.
Since the introduction of the hit reality Netflix show, Drive to Survive, the drivers have had to perform on the world's largest stage, with millions of critical eyes watching on. This year, to ensure the continuation of record-breaking ratings, Netflix have struck a deal with each Formula 1 team. A dedicated buddy is to be assigned to each driver with the aim of securing exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
As someone with a PR problem and an anti-media reputation, Max is informed by the Red Bull senior management that this arrangement is absolutely mandatory.
The one positive?
He gets to choose the buddy.

Burnout / Max Verstappen
At the start of the 2026 Formula 1 season, reigning World Champion Max Verstappen has one goal: domination. With Red Bull gunning for perfection and legacy cementation on the line, there's no room for distractions. Then Gianpiero Lambiase - Max's long-time race engineer and the only person he's ever trusted behind a headset - goes on paternity leave. Red Bull scrambles. Their solution? Poach Sasha Langley from Mercedes. Once groomed to be Bono's successor, Sasha is brilliant, calculating, and cold as carbon fiber. She's also the last person Max wants in his garage. He makes that clear. But Formula 1 doesn't care about feelings. Just results. And Sasha? She delivers. Thrown together under the blistering lights of the paddock, they clash - publicly, professionally, intimately. But hate has always been a close cousin of something far more dangerous. In a world where fractions define legacies and trust is earned in milliseconds, what begins as a war of wills may just become the one thing neither of them planned for: Something real.Complete
Gin Tonic || M. Verstappen
In the world of roaring engines, podium finishes, and relentless pressure, Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen is untouchable-fierce behind the wheel, ice-cold in interviews, and closed off to anyone who tries to get too close. Fame, glory, and expectation have built him a fortress no one dares to climb. But in a quiet corner of Monaco, tucked between designer boutiques and luxury yachts, there's a bar. Unassuming. A little rough around the edges. And it's there that Max finds something he never expected: silence. Calm. And Luna-the bar's owner, a woman who knows exactly how he likes his drink but nothing about his world. Or so he thinks. Luna isn't impressed by his fame. She doesn't ask questions or offer praise. She's sharp, private, and more interested in keeping her distance than getting drawn into someone else's orbit. But Max keeps coming back. And slowly, between bitter gin and long, late-night conversations, something begins to shift. Because Luna has spent years building a life where no one can take too much from her ever again. After a lifetime of caretaking, heartbreak, and being left behind, she's learned how to survive alone. She doesn't want chaos. She doesn't want complicated. And Max Verstappen is both. But love doesn't ask for permission. And when the line between their two worlds begins to blur, Luna will have to decide whether she's brave enough to risk everything she's built for something she swore she'd never need. And Max? He'll have to figure out how to hold onto something fragile in a world that breaks everything it touches. slow burn, really slow burn, slow updates max verstappen x oc
Little Lion Man | Max Verstappen
❝They call him the Dutch Lion.❞ ❝Yeah? To be honest, I think he's more like Scar from The Lion King, but whatever.❞ In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull Racing is crumbling. Half the team has quit, morale is at an all-time low, and Max Verstappen-the reigning champion-is battling not just a losing season but a mountain of frustration, anger, and self-hatred. Known for his icy demeanor and explosive temper, Max feels more isolated than ever, unwilling to accept the changes around him. The last thing he wants is a new Personal Assistant. Enter Emilia "Emmy" Jones, a vibrant redhead who seems to radiate sunshine wherever she goes. She's everything Max despises in this moment of chaos-optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she's a storm he didn't see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen. What Max doesn't realize is that Emmy isn't just some cheerful distraction. Beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she's hiding her own storm. She's not the unshakable beam of positivity he assumes-she's a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can't stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn't take long for him to see that Emmy isn't just sunshine. She's a hurricane-wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it's the storms that reshape everything.
